We love the 2000 Grinch now

I kneejerk defended it for years because it had Jim Carrey in it and he did a handful of really funny things but like

People used to hate this movie because it was a blatant cash grab and it was such a fucking slog and had bizarrely dreary colors?

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Like I told you in the car yesterday—wait, was that yesterday? It might have been Saturday. The days are all starting to blend together.

    Oh right, I was saying something relevant.

    Like I told you in the car at one point recently, I used to like this movie more than I do.

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Jim Carrey's kinda been a mess for a long time now.

    For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    Probably another case where "critical reevaluation" just means "people who enjoyed it as kids are old enough to be critics now".

    The Grinch (2000) had its moments, like the Grinch's argument with his echo, the Grinch's daily schedule, the Grinch going through the phone book, and the Grinch tampering with the mail.

    Also, the Whos (other than Cindy Lou and her family) were obnoxiously loud and child me was scandalized by their partying ways (dancing and alcohol at parties! Not a single church in Whoville?!! What creepy sin-town is this?).

    The funny thing is, as a my-age-year-old, I have pretty much aged into the Grinch.

    You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
    You really are a heel
    You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
    You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

    You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
    Your heart's an empty hole
    Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
    I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

    You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
    You have termites in your smile
    You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
    Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!

    You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
    You're a nasty wasty skunk
    Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
    The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
    "Stink, stank, stunk"!

    You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
    You're the king of sinful sots
    Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
    Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
    Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!

    You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
    With a nauseous super "naus"!
    You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
    You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
